Magnifying Glass Pro Editor's Review

Magnifying Glass Pro does pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. It magnifies certain areas of your screen as a real magnifying glass would do, to assist visually restricted users in seeing all the content on their desktop.  One of the main competitors of Magnifying Glass Pro would be the standard Magnifier utility that has been built into Windows for many years now, and has a primary advantage being that no additional download and installation is required to use it.

After taking a quick first look at Magnifying Glass Pro, it’s very clear and obvious that it is more feature-full than Windows Magnifier. To some users, this may be ideal, however for such a simple utility, I felt that many different features, options and control was a little off putting, as after all, magnification utilities are primarily intended for those who may have trouble using a computer to begin with. An entire Window is dedicated to the setting up and customization of Magnifying Glass Pro, and is split up into different tabs to control different areas. Some notable features of Magnifying Glass Pro is the Glass profiles, allowing you to pre-setup different magnifying glasses ready to use straight away. I liked this, however it did make me wonder how useful pre-set virtual magnifying glasses would be to someone. Another notable feature is the glass shaking feature, letting the user take control of the magnifying glass whilst it’s in use by shaking the mouse horizontally and vertically to achieve different things – a great idea to assist those who have trouble with the keyboard, yet it requires a little setting up in order to make it perfect for the user. My final notable feature would be hotkeys. There are many pre-defined hotkeys setup letting you change the look and functionality of the glass whilst using it, which is great. However almost all the hotkeys require many key presses in order to activate, which to me seems a little more complex than simply having plus or minus keys on screen someone to be clicked when the user wants to adjust the level of magnification.

Something I found a little strange though, was the fact that Magnifying Glass Pro really doesn’t like Windows Aero. This means that if you’re lucky enough to have the hardware to support Windows Aero, along with a premium copy of Windows Vista or Windows 7, your nice transparent theme is going to disappear as soon as you launch the magnifying glass. Something else I didn’t like was that you have to move your cursor to the edge of the magnifying glass in order to make it move, therefore feeling less fluid and precise than Windows Magnifier, as that centres itself around your cursor at all times.

In conclusion, as much as Magnifying Glass Pro has many more features than the standard Windows Magnifier, (unless they particularly suit your needs) I don’t see any reasonable reason why Windows Magnifier will not already do the job for you. Magnifying Glass Pro is an extra download, which ultimately does exactly the same as the magnifier already installed on your system. I’m not unimpressed by Magnifying Glass Pro, but I see no reason for me to keep it. Overall, I’d rate it 2/5.
